Having Dunleary coming up in Nominatim searches instead of Dun Laoghaire seems very anachronistic. But then Kingstown would be a hell of a lot worse!

It would be anachronistic if Dunleary wasn't the name in daily use by most people. But it is. The vague similarity between the spellings of the Irish and English names coupled with an initiative to get people to move to the Irish name has led to an odd situation where people say "Dunleary" but write "Dun Laoire" or some other Creole of the Irish name. There is no more valid candidate for name:en and it is furthermore valid to allow nomination to match searches for it. The name tag remains at the Irish name, which reflects on the ground signage etc.

And I thought you'd just tell me to change my browser locale settings.
